About the Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239

The 2008 Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,970 kg with 239 bhp, which works out at 121 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 121 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 3.04 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,074th quickest to 60 mph, and the 18th quickest of the 32 Lincolns here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 87.1 mph, the 6,313th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 0-60 time?
The Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 reaches 60 mph in 9.38 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,074th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 quarter mile time?
17.29 s at 87.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.61 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.04 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 have?
239 bhp and 1,970 kg, which is 121 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239?
Closest here on pace: Chrysler 300M 2.7 V6 200 (9.37 s), Saab 9-5 SportCombi 2.3 T 185 (9.40 s), Subaru Legacy Sedan B4 2.5i 170 (9.36 s). Each one can be raced against the Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lincoln Town Car 4.6 V8 LONG 239 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
